Between February 2001 and May 2010, we performed partial aortic root remodeling in 40 patients, who underwent emergency surgical intervention. The dissected sinuses were excised leaving a 3-5 mm rim of the aortic wall from the attached aortic valve cusps. A short piece （4-5 cm） of collagen coated woven polyester vascular prosthesis was trimmed with one or two ＂tongues＂ to reconstruct the non-coronary sinus and/ or the right coronary sinus, but without using separated patches. Additional procedures were including hemi-arch replacement in 11 patients, and total arch replacement plus stent-elephant trunk in 20 patients. The mean follow-up time was 36.4~3.6 months. In-hospital mortality was only 5.0% （2/40）; furthermore, 3 （8.6%） patients underwent re-operation of the aortic valve and 2 （5.7%） patients died during follow-up. At the end of follow-up, trivial or no aortic regurgitation was found in 33 patients, but mild aortic regurgitation was found in 2 patients. Our data suggest that the early and mid-term results of partial aortic root remodeling were favorable, and it restored valve durability and function. Thus, the use of technique for root reconstruction in patients with acute type A dissection should be vigorously encouraged.展开更多
